Emperor Doom

Look, this story makes my point perfectly. Doom would be a great ruler and this story is my proof. In this story, Doom rigs up a device that uses the powers of the Puple Man to seize control of the planet.

Here is a basic Purple Man History. His name is Zebediah Kilgrave and he is an accident of chemistry, an individual whose body emits an element that, when inhaled or absorbed through the skin, can control the will of others. Got that? Good. It is important

I am assuming you can guess that Doom kidnaps the Purple Man and uses him to control all the governments of the world, but that is not the important part. The important part is what happens when he does take control. Are you ready for this?.......The world gets better!! I kid you not. Here is a list of a few things Doom achieves while in power.

1. Russian Troops withdraw from Afghanistan.
2. Ethiopian deserts bloom due to technology given to them by once sworn enemies.
3. Rule of South Africa is turned over to the black majority and is admitted to the United Nations.
4. Stock Markets Boom; Production rises while crime and hunger dwindle.
5. Armies begin to disband remaining at a skeletal level to help with natural disasters.
And who do we have to thank for this??? DOOM!! That’s right, Doom.

(You must remember that this was written in 1987 and that is why Russia is still in Afghanistan and South Africa is still minority ruled.)

This is great, a perfect society, who could ask for more? Well, apparently, the Avengers like war and poverty, so they are going to try and stop Doom. Their reasons for stopping him are so ridiculous that some of the members have a problem with it. Doom is doing a great job, why stop him?

In the end, Doom leaves his rule up to fate and allows Namor to destroy his device. Doom gave up rule because he was bored with complete power. Where is the fun in ruling everything and getting no credit? You make the planet perfect and the Avengers still want you to be dethroned just because you are Doom. Well, I hope the Avengers are happy. Look at the Marvel Universe now. It could have been perfect, but they blew it.
